banged tho balls about tho tabes but, with tho

nothiug but tho clucking Of tho spheres. At last,
bowcycr q man camo up to the den In which Tom was
nerched and asked him why he didn't buy ivory balls
Those ivory balls" replied Tom, getting as

EDGERToNS ADVICE TO A GIRL.


A few days ago Civil Service Commissioner Edger-
ton put young lady candidate through an examina-
zion that che did not bargain tor. The young lady
oamo into his Office with o face as red AZ inll,bown
rose But on n close examination, the Civil Service
Commissioner, who. although old in years, is young in
sight and heart, discovered that this rosy hue WIS
occurred by paint and powder. Sir Edecrton hates any
thing unnatural artificial, and he looked at the
young lady for awhile asked her If she ever ex
pccted to have husband. The young lady rather
startled Mt the question: but replied. Certainly"
Thea replied Mr.. Edgerton, If was young man
and calling to see you, would prefer to your face

Mr. Edgcrton coul we'll say the above, because his
years allowed him to speak, and aztec tow minutes

NORTH of Texas and west of the
Indian territory lies a strip of land,
200 miles long and fifty wide, which
is sometimes designated on the maps
as public lands" and again as mo
mans land" 1t belongs to no state
or territory, has never been surveyed
and is not open to entry. 1t cannot
be sold or pre-empted and is a coun-
try without laws. Several thousand
people reside on this land who ex-
pect, by occupation and use, to have
preferred rights when the tract is
finally opened to settlement. They
have sort Of unwritten, patriarchal
government, and appear to be getting
along about as well as people do else
where. This anomalous state of
things exists and continues by reason
OF the non-action of congress. Vari-
Gus bills dealing with the case have
been introduced from time to time,
but all have failed to pass. 1t is pro-
posed by some to give it a territorial
government, by others to attach it to
a contiguous state or territory. In
the meantime it is land without laws
or government.

THISTLE AND VOLUNTEER.

OUR dispatches this morning say
that the second race between the
Thistle and Volunteer, which was to
have taken place yesterday, has been
postponed until to-day by reason of
bad weather.
One hundred million people have
awaited with interest the outcome of
this trial between America and Great
Britain. Everything that money and
skill could do by both has been done.
When the GeileStG came across with
a sprig of heather at her masthead
in the summer of '85, the Puritan
was built at an expense of forty-iye
thousand dollars, and sent the En-
glish visitor back with the heather
dried and withered, the America cup
remaining here. Last year came the
Galatea, meeting another defeat, the
Maytoaoer upholding American su-
premacy. And now the Thistle, built
on American plans, after a special visit
to this country by her designer.
She is American in hull, rig, and
everything except name and place of
building.
This time it was with apprehen-
sion Of defeat that the patriotic owner
and designer of the Puritan and
Magfo1Oer cast about to devise some
craft to beat the vaunted Thistle.
The result of his effort was the new
steel sloop Volunteer.
As matter of interest we append
the following

Painting the Town Red.

At this late date another origin for
the expression, painting it red" is
given. Back in the Cos. racing was
one OF the exciting features OF Mis-
sissippi river travel, and when an op-
portunity offered for trial of speed
all hands were breathless with excite
ment. The first command from the
captain would be: paint her red.
boysI" which was the river slang for
filling the fire-box with resin In order
to create quick, hot fire, at which
time the fire-boxes would be thrown
open. Then If the night were dark.
the effect would be simply grand. As
far ahead as the eye could see, the
river would be a deep red from the
reflection, forming a most beautiful
picture, which once seen could never
be forgotten. 1t was at that time
that the expression "paint the town
red" originated, as the old steamboat
men intended to convey the idea BY
its use that they would have a beau
tiful time on arrival at their destina-
tion.

DULY ACCREDITED.

Mr.. WIN. II. BREWSTER, of Vancou-

ton, and at the late meeting Of the
executive committee of the associa.
ton in Portland was appointed stats.
tician. In this capacity he is visiting
the various communities of the north.
west 1t is his province and his pur'
pose to collect all commercial stats
tics procurable and arrange them In
convenient and conclusive shape. Ii
is the desire of the association and
the interest of all dwellers on the Co
lumbia that these statistics be as full
and complete as possible.
THE AsToR1AN invokes the aid OF
Astorians in this regar'. Any data,
figures, and commercial statistics fur
nished Mr.. Brewster will further the
work just that much.
He is also a solicitor for honorary
membership. At the last session OF
the association in this city it was con-
sidered well to have certificates OF
honorary membership prepared, and
upon payment of S., anyone desirOus
of furthering the grand idea of free
river, can be enrolled among those al
ready belonging to the Columbia
Waterway association. The list is
growing and will embrace many OF
the most prominent citizens of Oregon
and Washington.
The feeling in favor of a new river
is practically unanimous. Anything
that can be done to further this is a
matter of interest. In helping the
association to do this work we help
ourselves. Mr.. Brewster is duly &C
credited, is earnest and enthusiastic
and will be in this city for several
days to further in all ways possible
this matter in which Astoria is so
vitally interested.

4 STREET RAILWAY.

SINCE the fasco regarding the pro-
posed street railway in 1884 the mat
ter has slumbered. The franchise
granted to Hennessy has, of course,
long since lapsed, and, the action of
that adventurer, has, naturally, made
many suspicious of any kindred prop
ositions.
He was a stranger with no capital,
but colossal cheek. The chief mover
IN the present scheme is a Portland
capitalist, who appears to be finan-
cially responsible, understands what
he is doing, realizes the business re-
quirements of the situation and stands
ready to put his money into the pro-
ject and push it to completion If the
city council grant him the franchise
He asks no subsidy, takes the chances
and thinks he sees a profitable invest
ment for some idle thousands.
1t is conceded on all sides that a
street railroad would be a good thing.
Ii we can't put up the money and
build it ourselves, it seems to us the
next best thing is to let somebody
else do it.
Mr.. Brown says that it is not his
desire to ask for the franchise to try

any warning upon future transactions

So that it amounts to this-if the
city council want to have a street
railroad in Astoria they will grant the
franchise, with proper provisions and
restrictions: if they don't, they will
refuse to grant it.
